Wells Writes a Fellow Fabian

H. G. Wells. Autograph Letter Signed with Original Drawings.
On blank paper from Wells's home in Sandgate, A Day in October,
1905. Two pages, on one sheet, folded vertically for two leaves,
written on rectos only. Leaves 10.5 x 8.25 inches. Lovingly written
to Edith Nesbit Bland, addressed "Dear Kind Lady," referencing time
Wells spent with her daughters before he goes on to praise the
family: "You Blands are the most remarkable lot & my appetite
is merely whetted." ... "You have restored my youth." with much
more content including three drawings of Wells and his soul. Leaves
folded in eights, as mailed, minimal wear to folds and edges, very
faint marginal creasing. Very good. From the Larry McMurtry
Collection of H. G. Wells.
